importing pictures

Hey... Does the picture upload feature work on koha 2.2.8 for windows? I was trying to use the picture upload option for koha found in parameters. The zip file contains the images and the datalink.txt file. The file has data: 1 Nicole.jpg 2 John.jpg 3 Amy.jpg -Is this the correct way to write the info in the file. I tried zipping a folder containing the datalink file and images as well as zipping the images and datalink file just as is. Both failed to work. When I click unpack button I keep getting a server error. -Would the picture-upload.pl script have anything to do with it?

Import query
by S P Suresh 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Dear all, Can some developers on the list please help me. We have an existing library system maintained currently as a rudimentary mysql table with a minimum of fields (barcode, authors, title, publisher, year). How best can we import this data into Koha? Does it suffice to write some Perl code to load these values into the biblio, items, biblioitems tables? Or will it break something? Another idea is to just load the relevant fields into the biblio table, without worrying about the items and biblioitems tables. (We are planning to manually look into each record (searching by author or title) and fill in the biblio details with a Z39.50 import, as well as other relevant fields like barcode.) Can some of the experts tell me whether this will work properly, without breaking the way Koha works? We want to have our old data up and running with Koha. Thanks in advance for the help. We are experimenting with Koha in our library, and it is vital that we start on some rudimentary functionality at least. Later when some of us are more familiar with its workings, we can realise its full benefits. But it is taking time, and we need this help urgently. If the above approaches are wrong, can someone please tell me what is the best approach? Thanks in advance, Suresh

Multiple Instances on same server

I'm running Koha 2.2.9 on Debian Etch with Mysql 5.0. All works just fine. However, I need to set up a completely separate libarary for someone and need to host it on the same server. Question is, can you run multiple instances of Koha on the same server? I need the instances to be completely separate based on template customization needs. Scott Leafe

mysql file types
by Noel Goodman 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hey... If you check your mysql folder you'll find a folder called data which holds the databases used with koha. Each table consists of 3 files with extensions, .MYI .MYD and .FRM respectively. I would like some background info on these file types or a proper link to say exactly what these file types are and how they are used.

Within the etc folder for koha there is a text file called koha, which has info: database=blank228_home hostname=localhost user=koha pass=koha intranetdir=c:\usr\koha228\intranet opacdir=c:\usr\koha228\opac kohaversion=2.2.8 opachtdocs=c:\usr\koha228\opac\htdocs\opac-tmpl intrahtdocs=c:\usr\koha228\intranet\htdocs\intranet-tmpl includes=c:\usr\koha228\intranet\htdocs\intranet-tmpl\default\en\includes -Is the user and password defined here the location where the verification takes place when we log in from the intranet page? I noticed that if I changed either 'user' or 'pass', an error is generated when and the intranet page doesn't load. Someone suggested a method where an instance of mysql.exe is run from the command line followed by: mysql Koha -e 'update user set password=password("abc123") where user="kohaadmin"' I keep getting an error msg when trying to run the mysql.exe error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'odbc' @' localhost' (using password: NO) -Whats the cause of that? With that done, I also wish to create multiple user accounts for the intranet login. -Is there any way to create several user accounts? I would assume the mainpage.pl script would have to be altered to accommodate the new verifications. I am particularly interested in finding out where the script checks to verify the login information supplied. Any insight into this problem would be much appreciated, esp. as it relates to setting up multiply user accounts.
